This iconic and imposing castle is the ancestral home of the Duke of Argyll, the chief of clan Campbell. The building is set on the bonny banks of Loch Fyne – Scotland’s longest sea loch, amidst 16 acres of picturesque and well maintained grounds, making the castle a wonderful area to spend a day out, with plenty of spots to set up for a picnic and admire the impressive façade and castellated towers. The castle integrates Baroque, Palladian and Gothic architecture, owing to the renovations and extensions carried out over the years and making for a fascinating sight.

Visitors are invited inside to learn more about the history of the building and to tour the many grand rooms and admire the extravagant décor and furnishings on offer, including French tapestries, exquisite furniture and collected art work from throughout the ages.
